My debut novel, THE DAY THE FALLS STOOD STILL, launches September 2009 in the US and Canada and early 2010 in the UK and Italy. Steeped in the intriguing history of Niagara Falls, the novel is being touted as an epic love story as rich, spell-binding and majestic as the Falls themselves. My stories have appeared in several of Canada’s most respected literary journals: The Antigonish Review, The Dalhousie Review, The New Quarterly and Quarry. An excerpt from the novel appeared in Descant. I have been awarded an Ontario Arts Council Writers’ Reserve Grant and, based on an excerpt from the novel, a Toronto Arts Council grant. I hold a B.Sc. (Honours Biochemistry) and an M.B.A. from the University of Western Ontario. Born and raised in Niagara Falls, Ontario, I grew up amid the awe-inspiring scenery of the Niagara River and awash in the local lore. I now reside in Toronto.
